For Civil Rights and Social Justice Martin Luther King dreamt that people would be judged by their personal qualities and not by the color of their skin. In 1964, he had received the Peace Prize for his nonviolent campaign against racism.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, as the second child of Martin Luther King Sr., a pastor, and Alberta Williams King, a former schoolteacher.

King adhered to Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence. In 1955 he began his struggle to persuade the US Government to declare the policy of racial discrimination in the southern states unlawful. The racists responded with violence to the black people's nonviolent initiatives.

In 1963, 250,000 demonstrators marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, where King gave his famous "I have a dream" speech. The following year, President Johnson got a law passed prohibiting all racial discrimination. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. A gifted student, King attended segregated public schools and at the age of 15 was admitted to Morehouse College, the alma mater of both his father and maternal grandfather, where he studied medicine and law.

Although he had not intended to follow in his father’s footsteps by joining the ministry, he changed his mind under the mentorship of Morehouse’s president, Dr. Benjamin Mays, an influential theologian and outspoken advocate for racial equality. After graduating in 1948, King entered Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree, won a prestigious fellowship and was elected president of his predominantly white senior class. King then enrolled in a graduate program at Boston University, completing his coursework in 1953 and earning a doctorate in systematic theology two years later.

In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience and inspiring his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters.

Martin Luther King Jr.


He was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. received the Nobel Prize for Peace from Gunnar Jahn, president of the Nobel Prize Committee, in Oslo on December 10, 1964.

Martin Luther King, Jr.’s less than thirteen years of nonviolent leadership ended abruptly and tragically on April 4th, 1968, when he was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. King’s body was returned to his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, where his funeral ceremony was attended by high-level leaders of all races and political stripes. He is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday on the third Monday of January each year.

Prof VeA, HoD/Mech writes…

Benchmarking Singapore Institutions The Management of SSN suggested that a team from SSN visit Institutions that have already reached top positions in Global ranking. National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are two Institutions that are in the top 15 category. So, we were advised to visit Singapore Institutions. President, Principal, Dr.Albal and HoDs of EEE,ECE,CSE and Mech visited NUS, NTU and Newcastle University between Jan 19 and 23. There were several learnings for us, which we will be discussing with all HoDs and charting out an action plan-for both SSN and for the SNU, Chennai. NUS- has a special program for first year students called Engineering Principles and Practice (EPP), that helps them to understand what is engineering, through some hands-on sessions. NUS offers a second major in Design, offered by the innovation and Design Program (iDP). This program has been able to turn out many startups. NTU has a special program to attract Indian talent-and that is called NTU India Connect. Every year, they encourage 150 interns to do projects there. They receive around 2000 applications from India. This internship serves as a gateway to higher studies there. Both NUS and NTU encourage direct Ph.D from B.E. One has to finish Ph.D. within five years and no extension possible. Two publications in Journals are a norm. NUS has introduced a concept called "Active Learning"- with students sitting around tables, discussing in teams and solving problems assigned, in three hour sessions. This happens typically with thirty or less students. NTU does a similar action, under the name tutorials. NTU does "Small Group Teaching" for some subjects-wherein the faculty uploads all material in advance and then spends relatively less time in person-he attends only one or two hours per week for doubt clearing. Newcastle University is relatively new in Singapore and they are actively involved in collaborating with Singapore Institute of Technology. The mech dept runs a Marine engg program. We will seek ways and means to leverage on the contacts developed and the practices we have seen. Prof.Kamaraj , HoD of EEE took the pain of meticulously arranging the meetings, through his contacts. Our Chairman, Mr.R.Srinivasan, was kind enough to host a dinner for us on Sunday.

Report on SSN Alumni meet- Tribute 2019

By Murali T.S, Sharan Srinivasan and Swathi Subramanyan

The grand alumni meet of SSN, “Tribute 2k19” was held on Jan 5th. This time around we witnessed a foot fall of close to 500 - 550 alumni roughly with even some of them from the 2000 batch showing up. The number of mechanical alumni who registered were close to 30. In terms of batches, the highest number of alumni were seen from the batches of 2016 followed by 2018 and 2015. This year we organized successful events such as A Bash which was an alumni networking event. Here, the participants were part of a group discussion and interacted in length about the work culture and opportunities that existed in their companies. From the feedback the team received, this was the most liked and successful event. Another highlight of this event was the revealing of the distinguished alumni award. The CEO of Behindwoods, Manoj Nirmala Sreedharan was honored with it this year for his perseverant and pioneering work in the movie industry review segment. The event also brought in two stand up comedians Jagan and Manoj from Evam Standup Tamasha who made the crowd laugh their heads off. The day ended with a movie screening in the international hostel where the alumni were accommodated for the night stay. Other events such as treasure hunt and sports were also organised. Continuing with our tradition of planting tree saplings, we had alumni from the 2015 batch plant a sapling at the event. The alumni also had quite a few goodies to take back as memories from the event. They all received an SSN badge, calendar and T shirts. The 2004,2009 and 2014 batches had their 15th,10th and 5th re-unions respectively this year. The batch of 2009 pledged an amount of Rs.4.5 lakhs for the benefit of the college. We received an overwhelming response from the alumni who all had a great time rekindling old friendships and memories. Tribute 2k19 was indeed an unforgettable event.

MRF -Maintenance Dept.

- Prannoy K, V Harish Final Year Mechanical

We were recruited as Graduate Engineering Trainees in the Maintenance Department of MRF. The placement process consisted of six rounds. The 1st round had questions from subjects related to Mechanical and Automobile. The 2nd round had questions on aptitude, logical reasoning, verbal ability and psychometry. In the 3rd round, we were asked to choose an existing problem that was related to maintenance and production planning and were given 15 minutes to come up with a plan to resolve it. The 4th round was the Group Discussion(GD). 5th and 6th rounds were the Technical and HR interviews. Prannoy K writes… The topic I was given for GD was “EDUCATION SYSTEM IN INDIA”. The GD lasted 20 minutes. In the Technical interview, the questions were mainly from my areas of interest, projects and inplant training. The HR interview was about family background, previous failures in placement processes and about our project. Knowing the company well regarding their research, development programs and products they manufacture will give you an idea about the process. Choosing an area of interest which correlates with your project or inplant training will help you answer the questions better. Suggestions:

• Be Confident. • Have a positive outlook throughout. • Be thorough with what you add on your resume.

All the Best! V Harish writes… The one thing I got to know about MRF was that they expect students who stay in their company for a long time. They try to find out, in the interviews if you have any plans of leaving for masters. There were eliminations only in the first technical round. Hence it is important to clear the first round. In the following rounds, they tested our aptitude and our attitude through a psychometric test. After this ‘Day Task Scheduling’ round was conducted followed by a GD. My suggestions to students: 1. Have a good understanding of your projects and its applications. 2. Be strong in the core mechanical subjects like manufacturing, material science, thermodynamics and power plant engineering. 3. Be calm and composed during the HR interview. 4. Prepare 2 or 3 areas of interest (preferably materials and manufacturing which most companies expect) well in advance.

Boeing shows off new transonic wing concept

Boeing has taken the wraps off of a new ultra-thin wing concept designed to improve the performance of transonic aircraft traveling at speeds of Mach 0.8 (593 mph, 955 km/h). The latest version of the company's Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) can fly higher and faster than previous iterations thanks to its optimized support truss and adjusted wing-sweep angle. We hear a lot these days about the return to commercial supersonic air travel and even the advent of hypersonic flight, but the real cutting edge in aerospace engineering at the moment is in transonic flight. Almost all flying outside of military circles takes place in the subsonic realm. That is, speeds under Mach 0.8 (609 mph, 980 km/h). However, in the highly competitive world of commercial passenger and freight hauling, that's not quite good enough. You might be asking yourself, if the speed of sound is Mach 1 (767 mph, 1,235 km/h), why is subsonic below Mach 0.8? The reason is that the realm between Mach 0.8 and Mach 1.2 (913 mph, 1,470 km/h) is what is known as transonic. That is, the range of speeds just before breaking the sound barrier, and just after that's marked by an increase in air resistance and other factors that can be rough on an airframe. Ideally, engineers would like to get as close to transonic as possible without pushing the sound barrier, but it's far from easy. That's because it isn't a matter of the whole aircraft going from subsonic to transonic. As one approaches the transition point, some parts of the plane will be over the limit while others will be below it. An example of this is prop-driven fighter planes at the end of the Second World War that would suddenly start to shake themselves apart because they were flying so fast their faster-spinning propellers were breaking the sound barrier. According to Boeing, the TTBW was originally designed to operate in a range of Mach 0.70 to 0.75 (519 to 556 mph, 835 to 895 km/h), but the new truss, wing sweep, and integrated design allows for better speed and altitude performance by creating a thin, foldable wing with a span of 170 ft (52 m). The purpose of this is not only to produce a better wing for transonic flight, but also one that is more eco-friendly. It was developed as part of NASA's Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research (SUGAR) program, which aims at creating sub and transonic aircraft that are 71 decibels quieter than current FAA noise standards, have a 71-percent reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions, and burn 70 percent less fuel.

"Metallic wood" makes nickel as strong as titanium, but five times lighter A new technique has been used to turn ordinary metals into "metallic wood" with a greatly improved strength-to-weight ratio. By manipulating materials at the atomic scale, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science, the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, and the University of Cambridge claim to have created a sheet of nickel that is as strong as titanium, but up to five times lighter.

Led by James Pikul, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at Penn Engineering, the new study looked at new ways to take metal and give it the porous structure that gives wood its strength. So far, the test metal has been in the form of foils that are about a square centimeter in area. Also, it's a very expensive process. However, the goal is to develop an infrastructure that would allow greater quantities of the material to be produced more cheaply through economies of scale. In addition, the team needs to see what the properties of the metallic wood are, such as whether it dents or shatters when struck.

Aircraft-inspecting robot successfully climbs a 737

Currently, when aircraft need to be inspected for structural damage, people perform the task manually. While this does provide them with employment, it's also time-consuming, costly, and subject to human error. For this reason, a fuselage-climbing robot is being developed to do the job.

Known as the Vortex Robot, the device is the focus of the CompInnova project, which involves five European research groups.

The plan is that the four-wheeled robot will ultimately be able to wirelessly and autonomously move across the entire outside of an airplane, using integrated sensors such as thermal cameras and ultrasound units to search for defects. In some cases, it would also be able to use drills, lasers or other onboard tools to perform repairs. The current prototype was recently trialled on a Boeing 737 airliner, by a team from Sweden's Lulea University of Technology at Britain's Cranfield University. Utilizing a powered air suction system on its underside, the Vortex Robot was able climb all of the plane's smooth surfaces regardless of their curvature or inclination, moving in any orientation.

Notably, it was even able to move across the transitional area where the wing meets the fuselage.

Electricity-free air con: Thermoacoustic device turns waste heat into cold using no additional power

Beginning with the principles of the Stirling engine, SoundEnergy's THEAC thermal acoustic engine takes heat – either industrial waste heat or solar heat – and turns it into powerful cooling without requiring any other power source. This completely renewable technology could prove highly disruptive.

The THEAC system uses no mechanical moving parts, no refrigerants, no CO2, no precious metals or materials. Instead it uses Argon gas, which is plentiful and has zero global warming potential, and is totally sustainable, relying solely on the energy of incoming heat to produce cold. The technology is also claimed to make about as much noise as a running shower, and is scalable, way up from the company's 25-kW demo unit, which can produce cooling temperatures as low as -25°C.

The SoundEnergy device uses heat differential to create an acoustic wave in an infinite loop tube, and amplifies that wave until it reaches a high intensity. Then, just as the heat differential was converted into a pressure differential, the pressure differential is converted back into another heat differential, this time in reverse.

Hyundai's Elevate robotic walking car steps out of the shadows

Imagine if an emergency vehicle could not only bring the team of responders to the edge of the disaster zone but actually step right in, striding over top flaming rubble to get responders exactly where they need to be.

And that's the all-new Hyundai Elevate concept, moving through the world on fully articulated wheeled legs that let it climb vertical walls, hop over crevasses, crawl like a reptile and quietly cruise the highway on a sunny day. In order to achieve this level of mobile autonomy, the Elevate leaves behind conventions like axles and suspension wishbones, replacing them with individually powered wheels mounted to robotic legs. Each leg includes five degrees of movement via integrated vertical and horizontal hip joints, a knee joint, an ankle joint and a rotational steering joint that spins the wheel 360 degrees around a vertical axis. Hub motors in the wheels team to provide propulsive power.

When flat ground gives way to ultra-bumpy rock or rubble, the Elevate can use the height and power of its legs to react, standing tall and clearing large obstacles, crawling along like a reptile, climbing walls up to 5 feet (1.5 m) high, stepping over holes up to 5 feet across or spreading its track to a full 15 feet (4.6 m). In this way, the driver can negotiate terrain that would be deemed impassable for any other auto, defeating obstacles like large boulders, deep snow and steep hills, all while the vehicle body stays completely level.

Exploring Education

Dear all, I am not sure if you know, but I have embarked on a 4-month journey across India working in various educational institutions to better understand the Indian educational eco-system. Having applied to some of the top schools in the world to study public policy/educational policy, I figured my perspective in education was very narrow and very urban. I suppose that was a consequence of being born, raised, educated and employed in Chennai. I wanted to broaden my perspectives before I go to study and thus chalked out a plan to visit around 12-15 states where I would be working/observing in various educational institutions.

I started off my journey on the 1st of January and headed to a village called Manjakkudi in Tiruvarur District of Tamil Nadu. It is about 25 kilometers from Kumbakkonam. The Swami Dayananda Saraswati educational trust has set up a full fledged K-12 school and an arts & science college over there. I had heard a lot about how these two institutions revitalised an otherwise sleepy and idyllic village and was keen to go there. Co-incidentally, one of my students’ grandmother is a trustee there and I was able to establish contact with the very dedicated and able principal.

I spent 6 days in Manjakkudi, interacting with students, teachers, parents, the principal and with a few members of the administration. I spent a good amount of my time taking a few classes for the students of classes 9-12 on goal-setting and nurturing a growth-mindset.

These interactions served two purposes, a) I had heard from the principal that these students are highly ambitious but lack the confidence to come out of their shell b) I figured interacting with them as a teacher and a friend would help me gain the perspective I was looking for. The enthusiasm and the hunger to do well in these students was really heartwarming.

I also later found out that Wipro has a business service center here with an employee count of over 160. The head of the business center told me that their attrition rate is as low as 3%. He also told me that this is a viable business option for large firms and MNCs because setting up such units in tier-4 towns not only invigorates the local economy, but also makes sound financial sense because the cost to the company is a lot lower.

Alumni Update

Vishal belongs to 2012-16 batch. While in his third year, he started his venture into training "Public Speaking" for school and college students.

He is the CEO of Warhorse Innovations. Now, he is aspiring to go for higher studies in Education. As part of the process, he is exploring education, teaching and learning by getting on to the ground

We wish him well in his journey----VeA


Manjakkudi is also a very scenic village with acres and acres of paddy being grown on all sides. After school, I spent my evenings cycling to a spot I found where I was surrounded by 4 sides by paddy and could see a magnificient sunset.

LEG 2: KOCHI MUZIRIS BIENNALE

From here, I next went to Kochi for the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. The Biennale is India’s largest art festival and what a spectacle it was. I spent 5 days just devouring art from 10am-7pm everyday. There were exhibits from over 95 artists and more than 120 art installations in some amazing locations in the charming locale of Fort Kochi. I have been to Fort Kochi a couple of times before but this was the first time I have gone for the Biennale and what an


experience it was. The theme of the festival was “towards a non-alienated life” and the curator, Anita Dube has spent years and travelled to 32 countries to bring together all these artists and their art for the festival. The art primarily concentrated on the themes of perspective, slavery, anti-heteronormativity, LGBTQ pride, pain, modern-day technology. There even was an art installation doing a tribute to mosquitoes. For me, the Biennale was a sound learning experience. I primarily understood perspective and expression. People have expressed their perspectives in such ways that it unlocks different things in your mind altogether. I realised that appreciating art is a good trait to have for a policy maker because art helps you understand other perspectives and helps you build a 360 degree vision.

Did you know that at Harvard, the most popular and successful course teaches you how to learn to be happier?

The Positive Psychology class taught by Ben Shahar attracts 1400 students per semester and 20% of Harvard graduates take this elective course.

According to Ben Shahar, the class - which focuses on happiness, self-esteem and motivation - gives students the tools to succeed and face life with more joy.

This 35-year-old teacher, considered by some to be “The Happiness Guru”, highlights in his class 14 key tips for improving the quality of our personal status and contributing to a positive life.

1. Thank God for everything you have. Write down 10 things you have in your life that give you happiness.

2. Practice physical activity. Experts say exercising helps improve mood. 30 minutes of exercise is the best antidote against sadness and stress.

3. Breakfast. Some people miss breakfast for lack of time or not to get fat. Studies show that breakfast gives you energy, helps you think and perform your activities successfully.

4. Assertive. Ask what you want and say what you think. Being assertive helps improve your self-esteem. Being left and remaining silent creates sadness and hopelessness.

5.Spend your money on experiences. A study found that 75% of people felt happier when they invested their money in travel, courses and classes.

6. Face your challenges. Studies show that the more you postpone something, the more anxiety and tension you generate.

7. Put everywhere nice memories, phrases and photos of your loved ones. Fill your fridge, your computer, your desk, your room of beautiful memories.

8. Always greet and be nice to other people. More than 100 inquiries state that just smiling changes the mood.

9. Wear comfortable shoes. If your feet hurt you, you become moody, says Dr. Keinth Wapner, President of the American Orthopaedics Association.

10. Take care of your posture. Walk straight with your shoulders slightly backwards and the front view helps to maintain a good mood.

11. Listen to music. It is proven that listening to music awakens you to sing and make your life more and more happy

12. What you eat has an impact on your mood. Do not skip meals, eat lightly every 3 to 4 hours and keep glucose levels stable. Avoid excess white flour and sugar. Eat everything!

Inspiring Life Stories


13. Take care of yourself and feel attractive. 70% of people say they feel happier when they think they look good.

14. Fervently believe in God. With him nothing is impossible!

Take aways from the above lines: Happiness is like a “remote control”. We lose it every time, we go crazy looking for it and many times without knowing, that we are sitting on top of it!

Thanks & Regards –

Value of hardships

A man had one very beautiful daughter. When the daughter was ready for marriage, the father sent news around town that all the eligible young men should come to compete in a test which would determine who was fit to marry his daughter. On that day, all was set, all the able-bodied young men came out. Some came with paper and biro and others with cutlasses and swords. The rich man took them to his swimming pool and addressed the men: “Any of you who can swim from one end of this swimming pool to the other would marry my daughter. In addition, I‘ll give him 15 million dollars, a car and a house so they can start life well. I shall be waiting to meet my son-in-law at the other end. Good luck!” As the young men, all very excited at the prospect of winning, started taking off their shirts, a helicopter came over the pool and dropped alligators and crocodiles into the pool. Immediately, all the men turned back and started wearing their shirts again. Disappointed, some of them said, ''That's crazy, let's see who would marry that girl, no one will''. All of a sudden, they heard a splash in the pool. Everybody watched in amazement as one gentleman waddled across, expertly avoiding the alligators and crocodiles. Finally, he made it to the other side. The rich man could not believe it. He asked the young man to name anything he wanted but the man was still panting uncontrollably. Finally, he got back to his senses and made a request saying, ''SHOW ME THE PERSON WHO PUSHED ME INSIDE THIS POOL!''

Corporate Wisdom 62


Moral 1. You don’t know what you are capable of doing until you are PUSHED! Meanwhile, the Crocodiles were Rubber Crocodiles. 2. Those seeking to push you into the jaws of alligators and crocodiles may have helped you to reach your promised land!!! 3. Sometimes it takes going through the bad moments to bring out the BEST in us. 4. Trials are raw materials for Triumphant Testimonies... The push might take different dimensions: some people needed to be sacked before realizing their potentials and reaching their goals in life. I WISH YOU WILL GET A DIVINELY INSPIRED PUSH in your life. God Bless you as you accept the Push to go for the fulfilment of your purpose in life.
